“Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.”
“Remember on this one thing, said Badger. The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memories. This is how people care for themselves. ”
“Creating fantasy is real work, important work. It’s a hard, cold world we live in, and sometimes we need to escape. Sometimes we need that more than food or water or a roof over our heads.”
“Sometimes food is more than food”
“Everybody has a story, Alison," he said. "Everybody has things they need to hide--sometimes even from themselves.”
